Video Game General 3.0 - You know what should come back? Pre-rendered backgrounds!

[Phantom_Angel]

Well, now you know everything lol.

Isn’t funny that there PS2 Copies of KH and KH II sell for as much if not more than their PS3 counter parts?

Yet if you look you can find PS2 copies of KH and KH II on eBay that are the half price of the PS3 versions.
Still on the PS3 $20 for each isn’t bad.

You don’t want the PS2 versions. If you’re not a collector, they’re objectively worth less because the remastered versions have way more value. KH 1.5 comes packaged with KH: Final Mix, Re:Chain of Memories, and the scenes from 358/2 Days. 2.5 has KHII: Final Mix, BBS: Final Mix, and The scenes from Re:Coded.

I played the first in the series, Jump Super Star
interesting concept with the bottom panel being your tag and support characters and some of your specials.

You can also do some cool tag-team moves, such as Luffy and Jotaro combining abilities for a new attack.

Those were cool. I don’t think they have the tag specials in Ultimate, but they did add more characters and general gameplay upgrades. Definitely not super balanced though.

Well I already have the PS2 KH games from back when the games first came out.
I felt it didn’t hurt to look up the value of the PS3 games compared to their PS2 counter parts.
If you really don’t care about having the PS2 games complete in box, the PS3 games have more value while the used copies with case or manual missing going for cheap.

You are right, the actual nicer condition copies of the PS2 games and how they are priced are really only for collectors at this point at time. I think if you are a collector and you want sealed copies, now is the time.
I seen a sealed copy of KH II for $24. Link

Anyone else who haven’t played the series and want to get in I suggest the PS3 versions. Only other reason to get the PS2 versions over the HD remix is you own a PS2 and not a PS3 and you are poor on a strict budget.

That Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst teaser finally crystallized that this is real and happening, Gamescom has a super beefy line up including the hard hitters Scalebound and Quantum Break, but playable ME…oh yeah this game iwll steal the show.

[Kinniku_Buster]

This conversation is dumb as fuck.

Whether or not you want to play any of the non-numbered KH games is up to you, but not having a number or being on a console don’t make BBS or 3D “side games.” By your own definition, a side game basically ignores the main story and focuses on developing side characters. BBS is a prequel to KH… It explains the origin of EVERYTHING. 3D is a sequel to KHII and it fills in holes left by KHII. It also sets up the plot for KHIII. These games have major impacts on how the story is understood and received, something that is not accomplished or intended by a side game.

I don’t care how you feel, to be honest. You don’t get to subjectify something this black and white. They’re not side games, they’re part of the main story. Period.

If you want even more reason to believe that, watch this:

Man that a long video, a long video that been difficult to watch. its informative but kinda dry.

Well that convince me not to get KH III then, fuck going though a back log of 7 games. Unless the HD remakes include the game back log, then maybe.
I still hate Birth by Sleep, the whole Sora having/not having his own heart, it made my head hurt. No seriously where is my aspirin.

And fuck you Ansem, now I want Ice Cream.

The two collections have all the games between them expect Dream Drop Distance. Side games like Days and Re:Coded got turned into movies in the collections because they don’t matter.

Days is needed. They movied it because the game was fucking garbage. The game play was booty.

Coded was just a mobile game that recapped everything in the series in a weird round about way.

[po_pimpus]

I’m afraid of Po Pimpus embarrassing me in front of everyone, so I’m going to keep ignoring the repeated call-outs from him and others in this thread.

Don’t nobody give a fuck about non-gameplay trailers.

[Joezorz]

Playing Galak-Z a bit before I call it a night.

The ship controls great, the fights are fun, I love the hazards you can lead enemies into, and the game looks great.

Only gripes so far is a bit of slow down in bigger fights and the A.I. is a bit exploitable at times.

[DrellyFish]

Any rhythm game players here that got recommendations? I just ordered Gitaroo Man. I been on the hunt for some modern ones but either they just aren’t dropping or Im over looking them. I also prefer ones where there’s shit going on like Parappa, Space Channel 5, Harmoknight and etc

Miku Project Diva F2nd. Thank me later.

Got both PDF games lol

Also on this KH talk idk how niggas really praise Days. The story is doo doo, gameplay is doo doo, and that shit does nothing to get Roxas the fan love he gets. The last little arc was aight but overall trash.

I still got KH 3D to start, but my hype for KH has long been dead, idk if it’s due to delay of 3 for so long or i just moved on from it. Not in the “i grew outta it sense” but as in i don’t really give a shit anymore lol

Can’t wait to get on this when I get home this afternoon.

In some unfortunately alternate universe where the PS Vita was the big commercial success it should’ve been (with other companies aiming to make dedicated portable gaming devices, trying to compete with it…)—I would be looking forward to playing Galak-Z on a lunch break at work today…in addition to a long list of other Vita games…

Gears-- I suppose using my Gears 3 disc might be better than using Ultimate’s “bonus download”, since I’m assuming the unlocks and save file would transfer over…? The ridiculous grind for certain things might actually be my only complaint about Gears 3. It had sooo much entertainment value going on there… I am forever entertained by Horde mode, even though the folks I played with all moved on from it, sadly… then there was that DLC where you could play General RAAM himself… there was the satisfying conclusion of the story mode… the surprisingly emotional moments in there… and of course the action…like a thrilling amusement park ride or action movie where you are the star, and I wanted it to NEVER end…the CONTENT and entertainment value—this is what it’s all about, folks.

copypasta’d the hubs and what not into the OP.

Don’t forget that they also give you free PS3 themes for you to use when you complete each game. :3

Looking forward to scalebound today

Scalebound: Everything You Need to Know – IGN First - IGN

We’ll be kicking things off tomorrow morning at approximately 8am PT/11am ET, or as soon as the Microsoft press briefing ends. At that point, we will post our first piece of IGN First content for Scalebound: an extended gameplay demo that’s much longer than the one you’ll see during the Xbox briefing. You can also expect:

In-depth looks at various Scalebound gameplay systems
Behind-the-scenes on how Kamiya-san finally got Scalebound made after years of trying
Kamiya-san himself on our IGN Live show direct from Gamescom in Germany on Thursday, August 6 at 6:30am PT/9:30am PT (also available anytime, on-demand, after that time)
And much more!

[KimuraLOX]

Fuck, now I need a XBONE u_u

Fall 2016? Word, shit should be like 199 by then, lol.

[d3v]

So, not only does it look like and old VCR, it actually functions as one now.

[Femto_1]

Kamiya-cycle back in full effect, lol!

Edit: I guess it’s actually the Platinum Cycle, now.

[Darksakul]

So, not only does it look like and old VCR, it actually functions as one now.

Most TV services charge for DVR capabilities. MS is being smart by offering the ability for free.

Are we speaking of the new video record and live streaming program from MS?
I think it’s part of Win 10.

[Darksakul]

No, we’re talking about Xbone having full DVR capabilities.

So what the PS4 already have?

Also I happy to say the Red Ash KS has failed.

[Darksakul]

Playing Galak-Z a bit before I call it a night.

Galak-Z is that the space shooter that it’s loading screens are done in the style of the Commercial breaks on Saturday Morning Cartoons, and the whole game has this late 70s early 80s Anime feel to it?

[Darksakul]

No, we’re talking about Xbone having full DVR capabilities.

So what the PS4 already have?

Last I checked, PS4 cant record live TV.

I glad it doesn’t, with how fast people are already filling up their HDD space with game installs, and then getting an external for the XB1.
How long does it take to full a external 4TB HDD with 1080p episodes of Game of Thrones, Dr Who and The Price is Right. Especially when the same HDD already have your whole Game library installed on it.

Don’t get me wrong. I simply don’t watch actual TV anymore. Anything I want to watch is ether on Netflix or similar service or I will wait for the next DVD box set like in case of Game of Thrones.
My HDTV been relegated to more of a HD Monitor with multiple inputs than a actual TV. So the TV viewing feature of the Xbox One is lost on me.
Even if I did watch TV, I find watching it though my Game console is kinda redundant. And if DVR is that important to me in the future I just build a cheap HTPC with a video capture card.
